Microchip's PIC12F683, PIC16F684 and PIC16F688 microcontrollers offer up to 7168 bytes of Flash program memory, making use of PMOS electrically erasable cell (PEEC) Flash technology that offers one million erase/write cycle endurance. The devices also include on-board EEPROM data memory, and offer several peripheral options with integrated nanoWatt technology. Standard analog peripherals include single or dual comparators, and up to eight channels of 10-bit A/D. In addition, they support a wide operating voltage of 2-5,5 V.
The PIC12F683 features a standard capture/compare/PWM module, while the PIC16F684 features an enhanced capture/compare/PWM module with deadband control, up to four outputs and emergency shutdown. The PIC16F688 features an EUSART peripheral to support RS232/485-type communications and the LIN protocol.
Microchip's existing 8- and 14-pin Flash devices already offer nanoWatt technology features such as nanoAmp standby current, fast-startup internal oscillator, and brown-out detection for reliable operation. These new devices offer additional power-management features such as software-selectable clock speed, software-controlled brown-out detection, ultra-low-power wakeup on change, a lower-power realtime clock timer and an extended watchdog timer. These provide maximum flexibility in managing power consumption, without sacrificing system reliability.
The three new PIC microcontrollers come in small-footprint 8-pin SOIC and 14-pin TSSOP packages. The devices are supported by Microchip's development tools.
